Loan No. 706108298
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MALL AT LEHIGH VALLEY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, a New Jersey corporation (“Lender”, which shall also mean successors and assigns who become holders of this Note), at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED FORTY MILLION AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS ($140,000,000.00), with interest on the unpaid balance (“Balance”) at the rate of five and eighty-eight hundredths percent (5.88%) per annum (“Note Rate”) from and including the date of the first disbursement of Loan proceeds under this Note (“Funding Date”) until Maturity (defined below). Capitalized terms used without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Instrument (defined below).
1. Regular Payments. Principal and interest shall be payable as follows:
(a) Interest from and including the Funding Date to July 5, 2010, shall be due and payable on the Funding Date
(b) Principal and interest shall be paid in one hundred twenty (120) monthly installments of Eight Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand Six Hundred and 30/100 Dollars ($828,600.30) each, commencing on August 5, 2010, and continuing on the fifth (5th) day of each succeeding month to and including July 5, 2020. Each payment due date is referred to as a “Due Date”.
(c) The entire Obligations shall be due and payable on July 5, 2020 (“Maturity Date”). “Maturity” shall mean the Maturity Date or earlier date that the Obligations may be due and payable by acceleration by Xxxxxx as provided in the Documents.
(d) Interest on the Balance for any full month shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. For any partial month, interest shall be due in an amount equal to (i) the Balance multiplied by (ii) the Note Rate divided by (iii) 360 multiplied by (iv) the number of days during such partial month that any Balance is outstanding to (but excluding) the date of payment.
2. Late Payment and Default Interest.
(a) Late Charge. If any scheduled payment due under this Note is not fully paid by its Due Date (other than the principal payment due on the Maturity Date), a charge of $450.00 per day (the “Daily Charge”) shall be assessed for each day that elapses from and after the Due Date until such payment is made in full (including the date payment is made); provided, however, that if any such payment, together with all accrued Daily Charges, is not fully paid by the fourteenth (14th) day following the applicable Due Date, a late charge equal to the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) of such payment or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by law (the “Late Charge”) shall be assessed and be immediately due and payable. The Late Charge shall be payable in lieu of Daily Charges that shall have accrued. The Late Charge may be assessed only once on each overdue payment. These charges shall be paid to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment(s) and to compensate Lender for the loss

of the use of such funds. The Daily Charge and Late Charge shall be secured by the Documents. The imposition of the Daily Charge, Late Charge, and/or requirement that interest be paid at the Default Rate (defined below) shall not be construed in any way to (i) excuse Borrower from its obligation to make each payment under this Note promptly when due or (ii) preclude Lender from exercising any rights or remedies available under the Documents upon an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Daily Charge nor the Late Charge shall be imposed on any balloon payment that is due and payable on the scheduled Maturity Date of the Loan.
(b) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (unless Xxxxxx has accepted cure of such Event of Default by specific written statement from Lender to Borrower acknowledging Xxxxxx’s acceptance of such cure, and Borrower specifically understands and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation whatsoever to accept the cure of any Event of Default), Xxxxxx may declare the Balance, unpaid accrued interest, the Prepayment Premium (defined below) and all other Obligations immediately due and payable in full.
(c) Default Rate. Upon an Event of Default or at Maturity, whether by acceleration (due to a voluntary or involuntary default) or otherwise, the entire Obligations (excluding accrued but unpaid interest if prohibited by law) shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The “Default Rate” shall be the lesser of (i) the maximum rate allowed by law or (ii) five percent (5%) plus the greater of (A) the Note Rate or (B) the prime rate (for corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks) published in The Wall Street Journal on the first (1st) Business Day (defined below) after the Event of Default or Maturity occurs and on the first (1st) Business Day of every month thereafter. The term “Business Day” shall mean each Monday through Friday except for days on which commercial banks are not authorized to open or are required by law to close in New York, New York.
3. Application of Payments. Unless and until Lender elects to accelerate the Loan pursuant to Paragraph 2(b) of this Note, all payments received under this Note shall be applied in the following order: (a) to unpaid Daily Charges, Late Charges and costs of collection; (b) to any Prepayment Premium due; (c) to interest due on the Balance; and (d) then to the Balance. Following such acceleration, all payments shall be applied in any order determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
4. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender and upon payment of all accrued interest (and other Obligations due under the Documents) and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Instrument, a prepayment premium (“Prepayment Premium”) as follows:
(a) with respect to any prepayment occurring prior to the first (1st) day of the ninety-seventh (97th) full month of the term of this Note, a Prepayment Premium in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid multiplied by (B) the quotient of (x) the number of full months remaining until the Maturity Date, calculated as of the date on which prepayment will be made (hereinafter called the “Prepayment Date”), divided by (y) the number of full months comprising the term of the Loan; or (ii) the Present Value of the Loan (defined below) less the amount of principal and accrued interest (if any) being prepaid, calculated as of the Prepayment Date; or
(b) with respect to any prepayment occurring on or after the first (1st) day of the ninety-seventh (97th) full month of the term of the Loan, a Prepayment Premium in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid, or

(ii) an amount equal to the Present Value of the Loan less the amount of principal and accrued interest (if any) being prepaid, calculated as of the Prepayment Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will the Prepayment Premium be a negative amount. The Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable, except as provided in the Instrument or as limited by law, upon any prepayment of this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary, and Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of this Note unless it is accompanied by the Prepayment Premium, all accrued interest and all other Obligations due under the Documents. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount of and the calculation used to determine the Prepayment Premium. Xxxxxxxx agrees that (a) Lender shall not be obligated to actually reinvest the amount prepaid in any Treasury obligation and (b) the Prepayment Premium is directly related to the damages that Lender will suffer as a result of the prepayment. The “Present Value of the Loan” shall be determined by discounting all scheduled payments of principal and interest remaining to the Maturity Date attributable to the amount being prepaid at the applicable Discount Rate (defined below). If prepayment occurs on a date other than a Due Date, the actual number of days remaining from the date of prepayment to the next Due Date will be used to discount within this period. The “Discount Rate” is (i) with respect to the period prior to the first (1st) day of the sixty-first (61st) full month of the term of the Loan, the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Treasury Rate (defined below) when compounded semi-annually, and (ii) with respect to the period from and after the first (1st) day of the sixty-first (61st) full month of the term of the Loan, the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Treasury Rate plus one hundred (100) basis points, when compounded semi-annually. The “Treasury Rate” is the semi-annual yield on the Treasury Constant Maturity Series with maturity equal to the remaining weighted average life of the Loan, for the week prior to the prepayment date, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 – Selected Interest Rates, conclusively determined by Xxxxxx (absent a clear mathematical calculation error) on the prepayment date. The rate will be determined by linear interpolation between the yields reported in Release H.15, if necessary. If Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Prepayment Premium shall be due if this Note is prepaid (i) during the last ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date, or (ii) in connection with the application of casualty or condemnation proceeds to the Balance, if any, only to the extent that no Prepayment Premium is due with respect to such application in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.07 or 3.08 of the Instrument, as applicable. Borrower shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder if Xxxxxxxx elects not to prepay the Loan after providing Lender with written notice of its intention to so prepay the Loan.
With respect to the foregoing provisions, Xxxxxxxx hereby expressly agrees as follows:
(i) The Note Rate provided herein has been determined based on the sum of (A) the treasury rate in effect at the time the Note Rate was determined under the Loan application submitted to Lender, plus (B) an interest rate spread over such treasury rate, which together represent Xxxxxx’s agreed-upon return for making the proceeds of the Loan hereunder available to Borrower over the term of this Note.
(ii) The determination of the Note Rate, and in particular the aforesaid interest rate spread, were based on the expectation and agreement of Borrower and Lender that the principal sums advanced hereunder would not be prepaid during the term of this Note, or if any such prepayment occurs, the Prepayment Premium (calculated in the manner set forth above) would apply (except as expressly permitted by this Note).

(iii) The Lender’s business involves making financial commitments to others based in part on the returns it expects to receive from this Note and other similar loans made by Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx’s financial performance as a business depends not only on the returns from each loan or investment it makes but also upon the aggregate amounts of the loans and investments it is able to make over any given period of time.
(iv) In the event of a prepayment hereunder, Xxxxxx will be required to redeploy the funds received into other loans or investments, which (A) may not provide a return to Lender comparable to the return Lender anticipates based on the Note Rate and (B) may reduce the total amount of loans or investments Xxxxxx is able to make during the term of this Note, which in turn may impair the profitability of Xxxxxx’s business. Therefore, in order to compensate Lender for the potential impact and risks to its business of prepayments under this Note, Lender has limited the Borrower’s right to prepay this Note and has offered the method of calculation of the Prepayment Premium set forth above.
(v) Borrower acknowledges that (A) Lender could have determined that it would not permit any prepayments under this Note during its term, and therefore, in electing to permit prepayments hereunder, Xxxxxx is entitled to determine and negotiate the terms on which it will accept prepayments of its loans, and (B) Borrower could have elected to negotiate more permissive prepayment provisions and/or a more favorable manner of calculating the Prepayment Premium, but in such event the applicable interest rate spread, and therefore the Note Rate, would have been higher to compensate Lender for the potential loss of income on account of the risk that Borrower might elect to prepay this Note at an earlier time and/or for a lesser Prepayment Premium than set forth herein.
Therefore, in consideration of Xxxxxx’s agreement to the Note Rate set forth herein, and in recognition of Xxxxxx’s reliance on the prepayment provisions of this Note (including the method of calculating the Prepayment Premium), Xxxxxxxx agrees that the manner of calculation of the Prepayment Premium set forth in this Note represents bargained-for compensation to Lender for granting to Borrower the privilege of prepaying this Note on the terms set forth herein and for the potential loss of future income to Lender arising from having to redeploy the amounts prepaid under this Note into other loans or investments. As such, the Prepayment Premium constitutes reasonable compensation to Lender for making the Loan on the terms reflected in this Note and does not represent a penalty.
5. No Usury. Under no circumstances shall the aggregate amount paid or to be paid as interest under this Note exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury law (“Maximum Rate”). If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on this Note shall include interest payments which would exceed the Maximum Rate, Borrower stipulates that payment and collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess Amount”) shall be deemed the result of a mistake by both Borrower and Lender and Lender shall promptly credit the Excess Amount against the Balance (without Prepayment Premium or other premium) or refund to Borrower any portion of the Excess Amount which cannot be so credited.
6. Security and Documents Incorporated. This Note is the Note referred to in and secured by the Open-End Fee and Leasehold Mortgage and Security Agreement of even date herewith from Borrower and Ground Lessor to Lender (the “Instrument”) and is secured by the Property. Xxxxxxxx shall observe and perform all of the terms and conditions in the Documents. The Documents are incorporated into this

Initially (unless waived by Lender), and until Lender shall direct Borrower otherwise, Borrower shall make all payments due under this Note in the manner set forth in Section 3.13 of the Instrument. If any Due Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then the Due Date shall be deemed to have fallen on the next succeeding Business Day.
8. Limited Recourse Liability. Except to the extent set forth in Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 of this Note, Sections 3.11 and 3.12 of the Instrument, and the Environmental Indemnity, Borrower shall have no personal liability for the Obligations. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lender may bring a foreclosure action or other appropriate action to enforce the Documents or realize upon and protect the Property (including, without limitation, naming Borrower and any other necessary parties in the actions) and IN ADDITION BORROWER (BUT NOT ANY EXCULPATED PARTY) SHALL HAVE PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR:

(c) the amount of any security deposits, rents prepaid more than one (1) month in advance, or prepaid expenses of tenants to the extent (i) not turned over to Lender upon foreclosure, sale (pursuant to power of sale), or conveyance in lieu thereof, or (ii) not turned over to a receiver or trustee for the Property after appointment;
(d) the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards with respect to the Property neither turned over to Lender nor used in compliance with Sections 3.07 and 3.08 of the Instrument;
(e) damages suffered or incurred by Xxxxxx as a result of Borrower (i) entering into a new Lease in breach of the leasing restrictions set forth in Section 7 of the Assignment, (ii) entering into an amendment or termination of an existing Lease in breach of the leasing restrictions set forth in Section 7 of the Assignment, or (iii) accepting a termination, cancellation or surrender of an existing Lease (other
